look presidential and talk directly to the american people and don't get into a fight with mitt romney on stage. but you have to -- i think you have to be a little bit more nimble than that. if the moderator does not step in and say, mr. romney, that is just not true what you just said, come back and ask follow-up questions. if that is not going to happen what is then your game plan? if mitt romney becomes much more aggressive and does not stick his foot in his mouth, which he tends to do and he doesn't do that in this time, what do you do? you have to have all of those contingencies and be nimble enough to react to all of that and doesn't seem to happen last night for barack obama. he kept kind of talking to the american people, talking into the camera. i can only assume hoping that, you know, the fact check after the fact would do the kind -- the heavy lifteding of saying these things are not true that mr. romney said. >> we got our own fact checking segment coming up. i'm glad you promoed it for me. charles, quickly. as i was reading your column this morning. i spent five years at c

let's go. >>> so what might the obama-romney presidential contest still have in store for us? jack cafferty's following that in the cafferty file. >> wolf, if it's october and presidential election year, then it's about time if a so-called october surprise. which means any late-breaking event that can suddenly change the outcome of the race, for example 12 days before the 1972 presidential election henry kissen jer made a major announcement about the vietnam war saying "we believe peace is at hand." this likely helped the incumbent richard nixon go onto win every state except massachusetts. the most famous october surprise was one that never happened. in 1980 republicans were worried then-president jimmy carter would be boosted in his re-election bid by either a rescue or release of the american hostages in iran. that didn't happen. and ronald reagan won that election in a landslide. more recently osama bin laden released a video four days before the 2004 election, remember? that reminder of the 9/11 attacks probably helped george w. bush win a second term. 2008 the financial

when the polls were particularly dire for the republican presidential candidate mitt romney in the election, presidential election polling this past month conservatives decided these polls showing an american electorate that is choosing president obama over mitt romney, these polls made them feel so uncomfortable they decided to develop a new fantasy electorate that they would poll in theory and their fantasy electorate which is not the real electorate would give them a much more comforting list of results in terms of their fake polls. it was the same dynamic at work when they invented conservative-a-pedia. something you read about the world on wikipedia, if it makes you uncomfortable as a conservative, conservative-a-pedia is guaranteed to only contain information that makes you feel okay. if you are discomfited by the idea the human species is a result of millenia of evolution for example conserve-a-pedia has you covered. not only has it been debunked by the obvious fact that humans and dinosaurs co-existed, but in fact according to conserve-a-pedia dinosaurs are actually still here and h
